Job Details
The postdoctoral fellow will conduct research on a topic closely related to the project funded by a DOE Grant obtained by the supervisor, Dr. Sun, and her collaborators for 2021-2024. This collaborative project aims to develop efficient near-infrared emitting transition-metal complexes based on earth abundant transition metals copper (Cu), tungsten (W), and molybdenum (Mo) via a combination of experimental, computational, and machine learning approach. The experimental part of the project requires highly challengeable synthesis and spectroscopic studies. Only a researcher with a Ph.D. degree who has an extensive training, knowledge and experience in synthesis and optical spectroscopy can carry out the research. As such, the special research focus of the project and the required skills/responsibilities are the reasons why the job exists.
Screening will begin 12/13/21
